AI's role in radiology evolving toward a promising future
Ask any radiologist about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging and the response will likely cover the gamut of clinical tasks. Should AI handle routine chores that take time but offer little reimbursement? Or should it provide detailed data to solve complex cases and confirm suspected conditions?

3T MRI fetal scans should not affect newborns' hearing
When pregnant mothers are scanned with 3-tesla MRI, the higher noise levels relative to 1.5-tesla scanners do not seem to increase the risk that their babies will have hearing problems after birth, according to new research from Boston Children's Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

PET/CT images of F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and immunofluorescence analysis of patient tissues. (A) F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 PET/CT images before and after immunotherapy for patient 1 and patient 2. (B) F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 PET/CT and MR images of patient 3 (left panels) after one cycle of immunotherapy. PET images showed higher uptake by tumor and spleen, and PET result was evaluated as positive; therefore, the patient was considered to be responder to treatment and underwent surgical resection. Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and multiplex immunofluorescence of CD8 and CD137 (right panels) in HCC tumor and adjacent normal tissues of patient 3 after surgery. Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. Primary tumors are indicated by white arrows, and increased thyroid uptake is indicated by red arrow in PET images.
